Welcome to the agonising visa waiting room ?

O, no new south Wales.

What's a gsm?

Don't know the exact dates but think it's around the 10th April it would have been updated. We have to go to new south Wales was going for the 189 at first but then turned 33 so lost points, had to go for the 190. Only had choice of sa, Tasmania or nsw.

O really. I'm a plumber. Yea basically submitted application then we got our meds and police check done after then uploaded. What about you. What do you do where you hoping to get to.

I'm useally really patient but this is a real test. Just keep thinking it's more time to save though. Ours was lodged on 20th march so nearly 3 months now. We are starting to think we may just have to activate it as won't have time to get stuff here sorted. 

Hi we lodged ours on 20th march, 190 for nsw after 18 months of the process. The wait is a pain in the back side. Please Visas gods, give us a sign of the answer be it a yes or no, so we can move on with our lifes.

Don't go kuta though that is very touristy and as someone mentioned a bit like ibiza. We went ubud for a week which is inland and very laid back there. Then a week week in sanur which is on the beach. 

Bali is beautiful, we have been twice in last 7 months and going again for Christmas. Though we going gili air this time as donebali now. People in Bali are so friendly it's Unreal. Loads of couples there with young children. Is any where in this world safe at the moment. North Pole I suppose but even then the ice caps are melting.

Wow excellent news, so happy for you. Bet it's such an adrenaline rush. Hopefully this carrys on for the rest of us

JOeh99. Its a 190 we have applied for. I'm a plumber. The agent we have used is immigration2oz. Where is it your hoping to get to.

We are using a agent so never been near an Immi account lol. Just waiting for the e mail. Suppose in the long run its ok as gives more time to save some dosh plus get house ready for renting out. Think if we get it we will have to do a activation trip first anyway as just booked a holiday to Vietnam and Bali to cheer us up ???

That's good to hear lol. Only about 5 months to wait for a answer ha 

We have been doing the process since last Jan so it's like 17 months now ha ha. Thats why seems so long for us.?

I just want a yes or no answer now so can move on from what seems like our life being on hold. If it's a yes then excellent if it's a no then travelling it is lol

Hi we have a case officer it's just taking so long to get the answer. I'm useally really patient but this waiting time is seriously testing it lol.

Hi all, how long did you have to wait for your 190 to be given once every thing had been up loaded eg police checks, medicals etc. Cheers Simon

It was 11 years ago. Only the one caution and defo no drug offences lol. Thanks for putting mind at ease

Thank you, will be declaring it.

Cheers, will have to look in to it further I think or see if there is a online thing I can do to get a check done before submitting.

I have a police caution from when I was 22 I'm now 33. from a fight. Now ready to apply for visa. Shall I disclose it or not. The problem is I have had criminal record checks done before and nothing had shown up. Also I understand a caution is not actually a conviction. But worrying a bit now as maybe should declare it to be on safe side. Any suggestions. Cheers.

Thank you.

How long do medical records and police checks last for once you have had them done. Cheers

Submitted eoi a couple of weeks ago now. 60 points 190 visa for plumber. How long did your one take before it was passed. Thanks

Hi there you seem to be in the same situation as my self and my wife. Where are you looking at in Sydney. Do you know any nice suburbs. I'm a plumber. Have you started looking for work already or waiting to get there.
